Hosea 9:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They, the people of the ten tribes, prophets, priests, princes, and people, have deeply corrupted themselves, have strangely and horribly debauched one another; beside all their idolatry, there is more than brutish filthiness among them. As in the days of Gibeah; the story whereof you have Jud 19. Therefore he, God, who hateth such workers of iniquity, will remember their iniquity; he will not pardon their iniquity, but charge it upon them: when God saith he will not remember, it is a promise of pardon; When he threatens he will remember, it is a threat of not pardoning. He will visit their sins; he will punish: see Hosea 9:7.
